Dictator Kim Jong-Un sparked outcry amongst global powerhouses after blasting the missile into space.
US and Seoul top brass will begin talks as early as next week to deploy the advanced missile defence system in the south of the country, according to a military official.
South Korea is also set to launch its own system
World leaders united in anger at the rogue state, promising to hit the country with harsh sanctions.
South Korea is also hoping to launch its own anti-ballistic missile system following the latest taunt by the secretive state.

North Korea has also tested its hydrogen bomb
Amid boasts from Pyongyang that more missile launches would follow, world leaders condemned the action as an "irresponsible provocation" and urged the United Nations to punish the communist nation.
Last month Pyongyang also successfully tested a hydrogen bomb which sent tremors into South Korea.
The US Senate passed a bill to toughen sanctions on Kim Jong-Un's nuclear programme and condemned the state's rocket launch last week.

The bill would sanction anyone who helps to arm the secretive state, boost its trade or proliferate its human rights abuses.
US lawmakers also criticised China – North Korea's lone major ally – for "blocking" the United Nations fro imposing any actions.
